Franklin Webber

I am a software engineer.
I design, write, and test software.
I also try to understand how to guarantee specific properties of software,
particularly those that support security and reliability.

For the past decade I have primarily been supporting
BBN Technologies
doing DARPA-sponsored research on strengthening the resistance of
computer systems to malicious attack.
I have participated in the following projects and
was Principal Investigator for the fourth:

"Cognitive Support for Intelligent Survivability Management"
(CSISM)
This project was part of DARPA's Self-Regenerative Systems Program.

"Designing Protection and Adaptation into a Survivability Architecture"
(DPASA)
This project was part of DARPA's
OASIS Integration, Demonstration and Validation Program.
The first phase of the project was a design competition,
which our team, led by BBN, won.
In the second phase, we built a system according to our design
and during 2005,
subjected it to attack by three separate, professional, "Red Teams".
